Things you should know before getting dental implants.

Gene combination is identified as a risk factor in the success of dental implants. The health of the surrounding tissue and gums will affect the success of dental implants. Therefore identifying and reducing the risk factors is a critical step in dental implants. A combination of genes has been identified as a possible indicator of more significant tissue destruction leading to a negative outcome for implant patients. An article in the Journal of Oral Implantology reports on a study of individuals with the combination of interleukin (IL) 1 allele 2 IL-1A-899 and IL-IB+3954. These people are “genotype positive” and are susceptible to increased periodontal tissue destruction
